    Except for the interviews, I would think that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert also would hit by the writers strike. I have been enjoying Journeyman. It is evolving episode by episode. I'm still enjoying Pushing Daisies a lot as well. I have some 80 hours on our DVR that I have yet to watch so I can completely relate to wanting to catch up.

    I, too, like Journeyman. The scripts could be much, much better, with less soapiness, but the acting is top-notch.

    Apparently The Daily Show's writers are part of the Writer's Guild so that show would probably be stopping with the strike and presumably earlier since they shouldn't have as much a backlog of material. You might want to listen to the first half of Aaron Barnhart's podcast talk with Paul Harris on PaulHarrisOnline from yesterday. It is quite interesting.http://paulharrisonline.blogspot.com/2007/10/aaro

    I'm in the Journeyman camp, too. I kinda liked Viva Laughlin, but an old CSI was on Sunday instead so I think that's dead. I'm surprised you think the internet is the major competition for TV & movies, but I come from the book-reading coterie and we usually use the internet for communications rather than entertainment.

      I'm just going by the Nielsen numbers that are leaked to me. I'm sure there's a redacted report saying much the same online somewhere.
